We had a good 8 inches of snow , my neighbor came over and cleaned my driveway last night , he thought I was sick because I had not done it yet , I was waiting until the snow stopped , it was the first time he ever did something like that , I used to do their driveway all the time when he was not living at home , his mother has cancer and is a widow , he moved back home after losing his job just because he could not find work , has been living off his mother for two years now , times are hard all over work in his trade is hard to find (he is a machinist) , he could be working for minimum wage but wont , he told me that he just cant bring himself to work for $10 dollars an hour , this is a man in his forties , but who am I too judge , I was never out of work in my like , I even cleaned stables at a race track rather than draw unemployment insurance , I was not too proud to work for any wage as long as it was honest work , times have changed I guess ..
